Atlas for Stereotaxy of the Human Brain

Now back in print . . . the classic atlas of brain anatomy for stereotactic surgery, as a special limited edition! Schaltenbrand and Wahren made history with Atlas for Stereotaxy of the Human Brain when it appeared in 1977. Since that time, thousands of neurosurgeons have relied on this unique, large-format guide to stereotactic navigation of the brain. A complete set of microscopic sections, accompanied by transparent color overlays, highlight stereotactic landmarks and show the brain in all planar orientations. Based on the work of leading pioneers in the field, this outstanding atlas should be in the collection of anyone performing functional stereotactic surgery.  The second edition of this atlas of brain anatomy for stereotactic surgery offers a complete set of microscopic sections, accompanied by transparent colour overlays that highlight sterotactic landmarks and show the brain in all planar orientations. CONTENTS: Index of anatomical abbreviations; synonyma table for the thalamus; syonyma table for the hypothalamus; unstained series with overlays for variations of the structures of the brain; microscopic series with fixed overlays for anatomic explanations; electroanatomical observations. 69 monochrome plates, 50 two-color transparent overlays, 25 color drawings, ringbinder
